Senile/Coward Harry At It Again

Senile/Coward/Liar Harry Reid is at it again.
From the Las Vegas Sun: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid already presides over a body of 100 senators. But he wouldn’t mind if two more join the fold.
At a dedication ceremony for a statue of civil rights leader Frederick Douglas, the first District of Columbian to in the Capitol’s Emancipation Hall, Reid said he thought it was high time the District of Columbia be recognized as a state.
“Washington, D.C., residents pay taxes just like residents of Nevada, California or any other state,” Reid said. “The District deserves statehood, and Congress should act to grant it.”
Presently, the District of Columbia is a U.S. territory, a designation that gives residents electoral votes but no representatives to Congress. It has one delegate, Eleanor Holmes Norton, who cannot vote, and elects “shadow senators” to lobby Congress on statehood.

Apparently, Old Man Harry doesn't know the Constitution, even though the fool claims he has a copy of the Constitution in his pocket:
Article One, Section Eight of the United States Constitution therefore permits the establishment of a "District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States."^[7] However, the Constitution does not specify a location for the capital. In what is now known as the Compromise of 1790, Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson came to an agreement that the federal government would pay each state's remaining Revolutionary War debts in exchange for establishing the new national capital in the Southern United States.^[8][a]

Clearly, the Old Man is so retarded now, that he doesn't even know the basic's of the Constitution.
